In the formas showninFigure 10the pu-includes al bodyt28 similari' to .the body ofthe form of Figures 8`andi9: it beingu'nderstoodthat both of the bodies 'are'made from rubber or other-suit-u able exible "material, and the=lbodyf28iszprovided withaflat bead 29. `The applicator mount-' ing member of the forr'nof Figure 10 fis indicated by the reference numeral'30 andfhas an annular iiange 3I formed thereon `'shaped vto provide an outer channel 'thereinfand an inwardly'r directed portion 32 "is includedintheiiange" 3 I to provide a seat for th'ewa'sher 33 uponwhichi's mounted the bead`29 of the body. 4The. retainer-ring of,- this form includes a collar portion'34 formed atv its ylower end to provide an annular resilient'.

nular bead 4I of the body. It will be obvious that the strip 38 which is preferably a piece of ribbon facilitates the removal of the body from the applicator mounting member, and such is accomplished merely by pulling upon the strip, to draw the bead 4I from the ange 40.

From the above description and disclosure in the drawings, it will be obvious that th'e applicator mounting member cooperates with the body in each of the forms, to provide what may be termed ajpowder reservoir, andthatthe mounting member may be readily removed from the body for That feature is of extreme importance in the event the powder should become caked or the openings of the vapplicator or mounting member becomes clogged. It is thought from the foregoing description vthatthe advantages and'novel features of the .l invention` will be readily apparent,

It' isto be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination Vand' arrangement of the several parts, providedthat'suchV changes fall within the scope of the appended claims. Y n Y y i WhatI claim is: Y l

powder applying means including a sheet ofl ma# terial secured to the disk shaped member and covering the same, said sheet of material having Vopenings therein registering with the openings to provide a powder reservoir, leakproof means 2,137,125 jy of the disk shaped member, and powder distribut 'A ing fabric secured to the sheet of material for receiving powder from the openings.

5. A magazine powder puff comprising an inverted dish shaped body formed from compressible material and having an opening in the upper end thereof, capped inlet means mounted in the opening, an annular bead formed about the lower edge of the body, a substantially disk shaped member of concave-convex formation and have ing openings therein, means formed on the disk shaped member for fittingV association with the bead for detachably securing the disk shaped member to the body for cooperation therewith to provide a powder reservoir, an applicator including a portion of sheeps skin secured to the disk shaped ,member and covering the same, said portion of skin having openings therein registering Y with the openings of the disk shaped member, and sheep's wool on the portion of the skin to receive -powder from the openings to be saturated'therewith. D

6. A magazine powder puff comprising an inverted substantially dish shaped body formed from compressible material, a concavo-convex,

perforated member, a retainer ring securing said member to the body for cooperation therewith between the body and said member, and wool covered powder applying means covering said member and having perforations therein registering with the perforations of said member. Y

7.
